Pig can fly

Until I have something more thoughtful to say on this disturbing subject, I will just have to share an adage that I learnt as a child:

The earth is flat
Pigs can fly, and
Nuclear power is safe

Someone on the 7:30 Report (from the Sierra Club, I think) also just pointed out that trying to move away from coal by building nuclear reactors is like trying to give up cigarettes by taking up crack.

I have always secretly suspected that John Howard may be on crack.*
